Cameron's own goal

Latest government wheeze is to possibly charge VAT for playing five-a-side and raise £5 million. It will add around £1 per person to the cost of playing in a game. That's really going to help the nation get fit. Couldn't we just tax Bob Diamond's bonus? Good piece by West Ham fan Nigel Morris in the Independent today. Click on the link to read.

As a regular at 5-a-side, I think this proposal is disgraceful, and won't do anything to tackle obesity (not that playing regular football helped Benni McCarthy and Mido).

I think this is probably Nigel's best story since he saved the dolphins that time....

Good work from the lad, though not as fine as his Pottsy piece. Let's take to the barricades, made with piles of kit bags...
